Thanks again for your gracious hosting last night.
We’ll talk more about it on Sunday, which is why I
didn’t bother to send a thank you note. HOWEVER, I do
find myself wanting to send a note about something
else. I just went to visit your blog to see our
correspondence there (a little strange to see up on a
website, I must admit) and while looking around, I
read your most recent blog post. It inspires me to
say two things to you: 1) you really write very well
(but I’ve said that before.) 2) The opener of this
post -especially the second sentence- is not only
beautifully composed, it also has so much wisdom, as
well as relevance to me, and it really, really touched
me.

Just wanted to say that. I don’t know if you ever
read Rumi, but I often do, and have been especially
reading him in recent days and weeks. And whenever I
read him, I always end coming across something that
jumps out of the page at me because it speaks so
directly to feelings, events, issues I am living
through at whatever moment I pick up the Rumi
writings. I had the exact same experience when I read
the opener to your blog. So thank you for that, it
was a startling and sweet moment to read something
that spoke to me so directly and so personally.

It’s nice to know there are people like you around
-radiant with positive energy and pure kindness.
